OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY FROM THE EDITOR Photo Ark Capturing Rare Species And to think it all started with a naked mole rat. The year was 2006, and National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore wanted to try making formal portraits of animals in captivity instead of his usual shots of them in the wild. For his first subject, he told a zookeeper, he just needed a creature that might sit still. The naked mole rat qualified. From that modest beginning came Photo Ark, a joint project of Sartore and Na- tional Geographic. Within a 25-year span, Sartore aims to document as many of the species of animals now living in captivity as possible. Why? Because by 2100, many of those species could be gone. Some of the animals he’s photographed may have already become extinct: A fish called the chucky madtom hasn’t been seen in the wild for more than a decade. Then there are others like the northern white rhino. Only three remain—destined for extinction. Sartore travels the world from his home in Lincoln, Nebraska, to take these animals’ portraits. His days on the road are often long—12 hours or more—and challenging. Animals can be uncooperative subjects, and the work far from glamorous. At the Plzeň Zoo in the Czech Republic, Sartore slept in a room above the rhino enclosure. The female rhino banged her horn on the bars all night (it sounded like “a machine gun”), and the odor of rhino urine was nearly overwhelming. But the price (free) was right. Joel Sartore’s The results are incomparable—so irresistible, in fact, that we couldn’t pick a single book Photo Ark: photo for our cover. Instead we printed ten covers, each with a diferent photo; you A World Worth Saving can be can see them on the contents page. Sartore’s soulful portraits have been projected ordered at shopng in heroic scale on the facades of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City and the United .com/photoark.

Ultimately, Sartore says, “I want to get people to care, to fall at natgeo.com/ photo-ark-quiz, in love, and to take action.” That’s a good description of the mission of Photo Ark—and and tell us about of National Geographic as well.

  • The Massacre Canyon Battle Are Found Below: One Is by a Chicago Tribune Reporter Writing out of Omaha, and the Other Is a 1922 Account by John W
    The term “Indian Wars” usually refers to battles and skirmishes that occurred between the United States army and various Native American tribes in the second half of the 19th century. But long before Europeans arrived in the Americas, Indians had been engaging in savage inter-tribal warfare. It is no exaggeration to say that tribal warfare was an integral part of Indian culture. There is no way to know when the first large battle between Indian tribes occurred in North America, but the last great battle was fought in southwest Nebraska between the Sioux and the Pawnees. It happened on August 5, 1873, and was actually more of a massacre than a battle. The two most riveting sources on the Massacre Canyon Battle are found below: one is by a Chicago Tribune reporter writing out of Omaha, and the other is a 1922 account by John W. Williamson, the white trail agent for the Pawnees, who witnessed and participated in the battle. The Massacre Canyon Battle From The Chicago Daily Tribune; August 30, 1873; page 2; written by reporter Aaron About and sent from Omaha, Nebraska, on August 25. On the 8th of August, Conductor Norton, who came down on the western passenger train of the Union Pacific Road, announced that a “great battle” had been fought between the Sioux and Pawnee Indian tribes, on the Republican, 150 miles south of Elm Creek. Mr. Norton said several Indians had come into his train at Grand Island, and told a pitiful story of the battle. Little attention was paid to the report, people believing the Pawnees…had overrated the fight, and that the whole affair would in a few days settle down into a small skirmish.

  • The Transformative Ark
    Chapter 15 The Transformative Ark Ben A. Minteer and Christopher Rojas Abstract As conservationists confront an accelerating extinction crisis, zoos are emerging as potentially significant players in the effort to protect global biodiver- sity, a role that will likely intensify in the coming decades. It’s an agenda, however, that raises a number of ethical and practical questions as zoological parks seek to balance a growing conservation mission alongside their traditional recreation and entertainment pursuits. Many of these questions were first addressed in Bryan Norton’s anthology, Ethics on the Ark, a milestone in applied ethics and zoo conservation published in 1995. In the decades since Norton’s book appeared, the function of zoos as conservation educators and as centers of public transformation has come into sharper focus, with new fields such as conservation psychology measuring the impact of the zoo visit on public perceptions, attitudes, and con- servation behaviors. In this chapter, we explore some of this recent empirical work examining zoo visitors’ experiences and argue that Norton’s early writing in environmental ethics and conservation, particularly his notion of “transformative value,” offers a philosophical grounding for understanding the ethical potential of encounters with zoo animals. We close the chapter by discussing some of the challenges and tensions that emerge when Norton’s argument, which was originally presented as a justification for protecting wild biodiversity due to its ability to “transform” consumer preferences to more ecologically enlightened attitudes, is adapted to the zoo setting.
